Pros

Humm group used to a great place to work for years ago. It had great people and amazing culture. They actually cared about the people. The executives had open door policy. However the last 18 months this company has lost it's culture. Staff are just a number now. It is all about 'how can we make ourselves look good', than care about it's people and culture.

Cons

- Looks great from outside, not a good place to work. If you want good work and live balance this is not a place to get this balance. - humm in paper encourages it's staff to speak up and calls things when it's not right but people speak up they are shot down by CEO. - Grest company that likes to ticks all the boxes to make itself look good to the outside world - humm NZ doesn't care about staff wellbeing, but they do like to raise funds for charities??? - expects staff to follow values but CEO NZ fails to demonstrate the values which filters to senior management. - Management love to blames covid and WFH for thw decline in culture. The management's fails to take accountability of their actions. The low staff moral comes from their management style and lack of respect for it's people - There is HR but in AU but for humm group not for its people - Damaging place for your wellbeing -zero career progression, its not about how good you are at your job, it is about who you are friends with at the higher level.

Pros

I valued the relationships I built with colleagues at the working level. Beyond that, I found the environment challenging in ways that ultimately weren't a good fit for my professional growth.

Cons

Management culture is not set up for people to succeed; there is a pattern of unclear expectations, limited support, and accountability being pushed down without the authority or resources to match. Career development and progression pathways are poorly defined. it is difficult to understand how to grow or what success looks like beyond the immediate role. Decision-making can feel top-down with limited input from technical practitioners who are closest to the work Recognition of individual contribution is inconsistent strong performers are not always acknowledged or rewarded appropriately.
